Commissioner Dossenbach urged the Board to think about securing public places, starting with the courthouse, install metal detectors and form a committee to address the problem. After some discussion Commissioner Dossenbach moved to appoint a committee to talk with the Clerk of Court, Chief Resident Judge and Sheriff as to ways we can better secure our courthouse and come back to the Board with recommendations. Upon a vote, the results were as follows: Aye: Dossenbach, Garner, Matthews, Paschal, Stafford and Wicker Nay: Reives The Chairman ruled the motion had been adopted by a six to one vote. Commissioner Reives asked that his reason for voting against the motion be recorded as follows: "I am of the opinion that there was a San-Lee Crime Commission created several months ago and it would seem to me if the matter is going to be addressed it should be addressed by that committee - City and County Commission. This committee was created or established to deal with matters such as what we are talking about now. To do anything differently would be adding an additional committee to an existing committee". He further stated, "I want to tell you I'm a long standing supporter of more crime control but at the same time I think I'm having some difficulty laying the courthouse versus this building versus school buildings. 07 7
